Theoretically, you'd be fine. The heat shrink expands the wood in non-pallet racquets, but there's also a few layers of graphite shaping the handle, so that space wouldn't change. You'd NEED a new butt cap, the only thing you might have trouble with is depending on the brand of racquet you're using, you still need that brand of buttcap. The grips are shaped differently enough that a different buttcap wouldn't fit properly.
